Annoying Telephone Calls/Electric Communications
Criminal Harassment
In this matter, our client faced charges of criminal harassment and annoying telephone calls arising from communications made during the dissolution of a personal relationship. A restraining order was also issued in connection with the case. Attorney Barabino then came on board and represented the client and negotiated a favorable plea resolution. Although the prosecution initially sought a two-year term of probation that included a 42-week intimate partner program and a mental health evaluation, we opposed the program and advocated for more measured conditions. After a hearing, the court approved a one-year period of probation under a continuation without a finding. The client is not required to complete the intimate partner program. The sole condition is the completion of a mental health evaluation, which we expect will be satisfied promptly. No travel restrictions were imposed. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, the case will be dismissed.
Result: Eventual Dismissal and Minimal Conditions w/Probation.
